The Human Bean is such a reliable spot! I’ve been here a few times now, and even though I try something different every single time, I have yet to be disappointed. Whether you’re using the convenient drive-thru or walking up to the ordering window, the experience is always top-notch. Why I Keep Coming Back: • The Protein Coffee: I tried a small protein coffee with protein cold foam this time, and it was the perfect fuel for my shopping day and the drive home. There was one tiny clump in the foam, but honestly, it was otherwise perfect and delicious. • The Signature Touch: My absolute favorite part is the tiny chocolate-covered espresso bean they put on top of the lid. It looks like a little quail egg and is such a fun, tasty bonus! • Fantastic Service: The staff is consistently lovely, and

Amazing quality, good taste, but price for Americano is quite unreasonable, the smoothie is really good

Their coffee is amazing. You get a free chocolate covered espresso bean with every drink. Their customer service is top notch. We would visited them a lot when we lived in Colorado. and now that they're out here in Virginia, we happily will drive 20 minutes . The staff is always friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. Exemplary standard for customer service.

Tried The Human Bean today on a whim for the first time and it have to admit I wasn’t expecting anything more than Dunkin style drip coffee but was so pleasantly surprised—what a gem!! I was greeted by Kamil at the walk up counter who answered all my questions about the drinks and was super kind. This location has an incredible range of drinks but what sets them apart for me personally is their large selection of sugar free syrups. They have pretty much every single flavor so I opted for an Americano with the Irish cream sugar free as per Kamil’s recommendation. I will for sure be back soon and suggest trying this place out for yourself!

It's our first time trying their coffee, and so far, it is one of the best coffees I have ever had. I swear! The service and quality of their coffee are five-star.
